132 MICHELL’S HARDY DECORATIVE FLOWERING SHRUBS 
PYRACANTHA (CRATEGUS) COCCINEA LALANDI. 
(Firethorn or Evergreen Thorn). There is no other fruiting 
evergreen shrub that is so attractive throughout the year as 
this fiery Thorn. The large trusses of white flowers are followed 
in Summer by an abundance of brilliant orange-scarlet berries, 
which, remaining on the plants throughout the Winter, produce 
a gorgeous effect. Strong pot-grown plants, $1.00 each. 
PYRUS—Japonica (Japan Quince). This shrub is a beautiful 
sight when covered in the early Spring with cherry-red flowers, 
about the size of an apple blossom. Extra strong plants, 2 feet, 
60c. each.

HYBRID RHODODENDRONS 
The handsomest and most effective of the broad-leaved 
Evergreens. They will succeed in any light or friable garden 
soil but if a heavy clay soil must be used, incorporate a liberal 
amount of leaf mold or well decomposed cow manure, digging 
the beds about 2 feet deep. 
Mulch the beds during the Summer with Peat Moss and 
protect in Winter with 4 or 5 inches of leaves. Evergreen boughs 
between the tops of the plants during the Winter is desirable to 
break the cold driving winds and to protect from the rays of the 
sun in the early Spring.
